Great test match, but Stokes needs to come out and tell the English fans why they decided to follow on. It seemed a strange and poor decision at the time and appears even more so now.
Great test match, tremendous finish.

Though what was with the English tail?
Trying slogflogs as if they're Australian batsmen?
I know its all attacking cricket but could they have made the last 20-30 without wildly slashing at where the ball might be?
low percentage play at the end
 

This is what *smile* me about the general attitude towards umpires.

The first two decisions weren't reviewed by the fielding team so they were hardly cut and dry on the field, then India blew three reviews when they have 15 seconds to discuss and consider what happened with multiple eyes from multiple angles.

No mention of the players not having a clue though, just bash the umpires. And then wonder why we don't have any.

Big day's play coming up. Shame Smith got out. Need at least 100 lead you'd think. If we can make 250 we're in the van.

I see Will Pucovksi will return to cricket with the Vic second XI against Tassie next week. Here's hoping.

Bancroft is having such a good year he's first in line for the opener's spot if they move on from Warner. I'd offer short odds though that Warner is in the team for the World Test Championship final and at least the first Ashes Test.
 
Intersting to see India with no DRS's left, appealed for a caught behind, and apart from showing 1 replay they didn't show snicko ad nauseam like they did in the first over yesterday when Australia didn't ask for a review:unsure:

Cos he missed it by a mile.
 
Hayden getting toey bagging Hanscombes scoring pace! Is he for real? STFU Haydos, I'll be quite happy for him to graft 50 off 200, 250 even.

There is no pleasing some people.

edit he's done a 180 now praising his defence!
 
Another lower order collapse, 6 - 11. We have got nothing out of Carey or the tail all series.
